c f' PAGE EIGHT THE NEWBERRY SUN FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1#S9 1940 DODGE & PLYMOUTH SMTTH MOTOR CO. CHIT CHAT , ArMFIEU) Quite a stir was created when the President announced that Thanks giving Day would be changed to a week earlier in November, coming on the 23rd instead of on the 30th. With the announcement came numerous suggestions such as shifting Christ mas and Washington's birthday and putting a winter month in the midst of hot summer weather. May we add another by suggesting that when our calendar undergoes a complete change we make September the first month of the year because this month is really the time when everything Automobile $50 TO $500 Let this Newberry own ed and operated Com pany finance your next Car.

After three months, schools and colleges re-open for a long session. Teachers have left or come back to resume their nine- month position once more. Everyone is back on the job after vacations and visits. The regular summer conven tions and conferences are all over and it’s time to buckle down to work once more. Usual summer visitors have come and gone for another sea son. Church organizations that ceased during the summer months have started with renewed interest and enthusiasm. Summer brides- elect have been feted and feted again and married. And once again the so cial and civic clubs begin regular meetings after the summer lapse. Everyone has visited and had visit ors, has been entertained and enter tained. Now is-4he time to take on the routine of work whether it’s in the office, club, or church. Surely it’s a beginning time. So why not a new year? Off To A Start Also off to a beginning this month is the local Country Club, starting activities anew in a brand new club house. The house was recently fin ished and is said by many to far sur pass the former one which burned last February. However that’s a matter of opinion. But the new one is unique, in the fact that it has every convenience imaginable. Cele brating the completion of the build ing, open house was held Monday. The day’s events were arranged and effectively carried out by E. A. Car penter, president of the Country Club, and Aubry Harley, chairman of the entertainment committee. Ca pably assisting Aubrey were Mrs. Le- Roy Anderson, Mrs. Everette Evans, Mrs. Ellisor Adams, Mrs. Dick Mims, Mi's Jesse 1 Dickert, Mrs. C. I. You- mans, Pete Coleman, and Dick Mims. For bridge playing lady members of the Club a party was held Monday morning and eight tables arranged in the lounge for the guests. Late summer flowers in bright bowls were used in the room. The high and se cond high score prizes went to Mrs. Price Padgett and Mrs. T. H. Pope, respectively. Low score prize was won by Mrs. H. B. Wilson and the bingo by Miss Grace Summer. Ice cream and cake was served follow ing bridge. From 8:30 until 9:30 in the evening a reception was held fol lowed by a dance lasting until 1:30. For the evening affair the whole club was thrown en suite and gaily decorated with dowers.

Serving punch in the dining room throughout the re ception and dance were Miss Mary B. Kohn, Miss Frances Wallace, Miss Ethel Harden, and Miss Grace Mower. Members of the entertainment com mittee greeted the guests on their ar rival. A number of out-of-town guests were present at the opening including Dave Blackwell of Millen, Ga., former active member of the club. Large crowds attended each event of the day, according to those in charge. New Supervisor One visiting the local NYA home on East Main street would be amazed to notice the major changes that have taken place out there under the management of the new supervisor. The home is now going forward “un der flying colors,” according to one Newberrian. Had those in charge of the home where gills of our county are trained weekly looked far and wide, patiently ano long, they could not have found a better supervisor than Miss Gladys Epting of the county who took over recently. Sel dom have I seen anyone so thorough ly interested in her work. Gladys considers her place out there not only a position or job, but a mis sion. She has taken to heart the in terest 0 f every single girl that passes through the home and with her knowledge of training, her experi ence in public school teaching, and most of all, her good old common horse sense, she is doing a wonderful job. Although she has been there only a short time, Gladys’ plans for bettering the home are rapidly ma terializing. Telling all that she has done, is doing, and plans to do would be so much more than room permits to relate, but we hear by the grapevine route that big plans are under way for open house at the NYA home soon. It’s an event you will not want to miss. Gladys is a Winthrop grad and has taught sev eral years in the schools of the coun ty. She is widely known, not only for her teaching, but for her splendid leadership, her extreme friendliness, and her deeply religious life. Personals Mrs. Hoy Aull has returned to her home on Hunt street after passing the summer months with her mother, Mrs. G. B. Wingard, in Lexington. . . Mrs. W. R.

For Sunday af- Looking ’em Over By LONNIE FRANKLIN iNewberry is hard at work and fans wonder how the Indians will go this season. Coach Laval has about the same team as last year only they have a year’s experience a.id they were the best of the Little Four last sea son, so they should be again. They are having work-outs twice daily, but until hard scrimmage is started no one can tell how they look. Fans are interested more this sea son than ever before and if they will put that interest into football tickets for big crowds there, they can count on bigger and better football in a couple of years. The spear head of the running at tack, Collangelo, is back and says he is O. K. And that isn’t music to other teams, while the other forty men all look ready and fit to go. Yes, we’ll settle for the Little Four head this season. So Bill, you know what we want and by winning it you can keep the drug store coaches off your neck. Ramblin’ Round Asheville got 27 hits off Charlotte pitchers Tuesday and that’s profes sional ball, too. Reckon Hitler ever heard of the Yankee Bombers? The Reds have a date with ’em October 4. Clemson is to be stronger, so they say of Duke. Well, how can a team untied and unscored on for a season do any better? Carolina as usual a Rose Bowl team in September, another bunch of boys named Joe in November. Boston had won eight straight off those Yankees when the umpire for feited a game to the Yanks. Don’t tell me—even the umpires think they can’t lose. Tony Galento stys he’ll flatten No va if Lou tries to slug. Perhaps Lou thinks if he starts throwing leather he can’t miss the Beer Barrell. Jack Dempsey telling us what a perfect fighter would have to have to stop Joe Louis. Forgot to say Joe must be about perfect if it takes all that to stop him. Australia took the Davis Cup back home. Well, few thought otherwise. Even when Riggs and Parker took the first singles Saturday. Joe DiMaggio has a chance to be the first 400 hitter since 1930 when Bill Teny hit the charmed mark. But did you ever stop to think where the Boston Red Sox would he if it wasn’t for the hitting of Wil liams and Fox and Lefty Grove’s great year on the mound? 'Mickey Livingstone had to play first base for Springfield, so had were they shot during the last part of the season. H\ank Greenberg to the Yanks— what do they want to do? Make them invincible seems to be the goal. Here is one. They say bench a man when he isn’t hitting. Well, Crosetti of the Yanks played every game and is hitting around .220, or the price of a grandstand seat.

We will soon go out from this office to either collect these taxes or levy on prop erty in possession of delinquent taxpayers, and will have to sell same as required by law. This county has one of the best cotton crops in years and the price seems as if it will be fair, so please come in and settle up your delinquent taxes. I am sure you will agree that the County has been very lenient indeed in this matter and now show your appreciation by paying your taxes without being forced to do same. I urge that all landowners encourage their tenants to settle promptly their tax obligations to the County. C. W. SANDERS, Tax Collector
